CSS background image missing in CHM

[Ken Morse]

Hello,

I'm using the 1.7.20 htmlhelp stylesheets to build a .CHM (HTML Help) file. Recently I added a background image via the separate CSS file:

body {
...
background: #fff url(images/bg-side.png) repeat-y;
...
}

Even though I have the htmlhelp.enumerate.images option turned on though, the background image is not included in the either the generated hhp file nor the chm file. I suspect the css file is not searched for references to graphics files. Has anyone found a way to work around this? Perhaps some method to give an additional list of graphics files that should be included?

Thanks,
Ken

Assuming that the hhp file is in the same directory as the images
directory, then you can add ...

images/bg-side.png

to the [Files] section of the hhp file.

You can do this via the hhw.exe or by editing the plain text hhp file.

We could do that but the I believe the hhp file is rebuilt from scratch every time the stylesheet process is run; it would be better if there was some other way to add image files.

This will require a customization.  You could supply the image filename(s) with a stylesheet parameter, and then customize the templates that generate the list.  In htmlhelp/htmlhelp-common.xsl there is a template named 'hhp.main', and starting on this line it generates the image list:

 

<xsl:if test="$htmlhelp.enumerate.images">

 

You'll have to trace through the process and figure out how to add your extra images to the list by customizing that template.

A hack option could be to add something like ...

<img style="display:none" src="image/bg-side.png" />

to a page. Messy.

Just to complete this thread, I ended up following Bob's advice of using a stylesheet parameter to supply the filename and then modified the hhp-main template to use the new parameter.

Thank you!
Ken
